Mary Kay Letourneau and Villi Fualaau are shown outside their home in Seattle earlier this month. Their story will air on television beginning today.

SEATTLE – The TV show “Entertainment Tonight” has snared exclusive rights to the planned May wedding of Mary Kay Letourneau and her former sixth-grade pupil Vili Fualaau, the father of her two youngest children.

“ET” and its sister show, “The Insider,” planned to begin offering the first in a series of interviews with the couple today. The shows will offer more interview footage Friday and all of next week. In the weeks between May 6 and the wedding, they’ll air additional excerpts from their chats with the notorious couple.

The date and location of the wedding have not yet been disclosed.

Letourneau, now 43, served 7½ years in prison after she was convicted of raping Fualaau, now 22. She was released last August.

The couple first met when he was in the second grade. Their relationship became sexual when he was 12 and she was a 34-year-old married mother.
